On Disrespecting those Truly Persecuted for their Faith

Kudos to Hollyn Hollman for challenging the whining Evangelicals who claim that they are being persecuted every time someone challenges them for taking over the public square and/or coercing people into participating in their acts of public worship. Here's what today's Washington Post quoted her as saying about the so-called "War on Christmas" and other allegations of a "War on Christians":

"Certainly religious persecution existed in our history, but to claim that these examples amount to religious persecution disrespects the experiences of people who have been jailed and died because of their faith," said K. Hollyn Hollman, general counsel of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty.

Regarding separation of church and state.Should that really be sparation of religion and state and if so what does that mean Abraham Lincoln Ronald Reagon and Gearge Washington can't be American presidents anymore?
Crazy Liberals.
